影片对白：

Liv: I'm not this girl. I just don't screw up. I just don't get demoted. It's like I don't have anybody. I feel so alone.

Daniel: Hey. Babe, I'm right here. You miss your friend, especially now. She'd know just what to say.

Liv: I'm mad at her too. She went for the hair. Girlfriends don't do that.

Daniel: You'll fix it. And if you can't, I love it. I do. You're like this very tall, very hot Smurf.

Liv: Oh, honey. It's not just about the hair. I'm mad because maybe she's right. And it's exhausting having to try to be perfect all the time. That's how I held it together ever since I was a kid. I figured nothing - nothing bad would happen again if I was just...one step ahead of everything and everybody, all the time.

Daniel: Life isn't perfect, hon. It's messy.

Liv: You're right. I mean, I was gonna be perfect for you...but now that you say it's impossible - Hey.

Daniel: No, you don't. No, you don't have to be perfect. I've always wanted a human wife. Yeah, the other ones are just...too hard to inflate.

Emma: Hey.

Fletcher: Hey. Almost back to normal, huh?

Emma: I know, right? I have, like, one layer of skin left, but that should be okay for our wedding. So, oops, sorry, Liv. I wish I had pictures. You know? It's like I was up there, and there's this spotlight, and when I hit that rope - Oh, my God!

Fletcher: Hey! Enough, enough, enough! I've heard this story 10,000 times, Emma. You've been acting a little wild lately. Okay? And I'm tired of it. So knock it off. Lately you've been very mad and tense and excited. You know what? I just don't know how to deal with this. OK? And quite frankly, you have me questioning whether or not...this is something about - to do with the wedding or if this is permanent.

Emma: Um, well, Fletcher, it is kind of permanent. You know? I mean it is possible that I might be mad or tense or excited more than once in the next 40 years.

Fletcher: Is it? Really? You know what? You're doing it right now.

Emma: What?

Fletcher: You're being, not, I mean, not bitchy, but - I said "not bitchy." But you're right there in that neighborhood. You should have the cab, like, take a U-turn...drop you off at Pleasant and Nice, where we met.

Emma: Are you upset because of this thing with Liv...

Fletcher: Oh, totally.

Emma: ...or because I'm having feelings? Because it's kind of hard to read you.

Fletcher: My God! That's totally it. I'm upset because you have feelings. You nailed it.

Emma: Okay. So in other words, then don't have so many feelings, but if I do, don't show 'em. I shouldn't have so many-

Fletcher: Oh, God! I can't even talk to you right now!

Emma: You haven't tried yet. Do you realize - Do you know how hard this is for me? I don't even know who you are. You have not even tried to ask me about how I'm feeling. I'm so confused.

Fletcher: I don't even know who you are. All right? I don't want to talk. It's a tense time. We're fine. Whatever. I was gonna go to the gym. Bye.
